Utilizing Velomitor piezo-velocity sensors, this module is specifically configured for critical turbomachinery protection, ensuring reliable monitoring of vibration levels and precise alarm coordination.
Features
- Dual-channel independent velocity measurement.
- Compatible with Velomitor piezo-velocity sensors.
- Proportional 4-20 mA outputs for integration with external control systems.
- Integrated relay logic for Alert and Danger alarm conditions.
- Front-panel LED indicators for system status, including OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger.
- Enhanced input scaling and diagnostic capabilities.
Applications
This module is designed for use in industrial environments requiring high-reliability vibration monitoring, such as steam turbines, gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large pumps. It provides the necessary signal processing to detect machinery degradation and trigger protective actions before critical failures occur.

- Ensure ventilation clearances are maintained around the rack to prevent overheating.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the 3300/55 module?
The module is designed to monitor casing vibration velocity in critical rotating machinery using two independent channels, providing both local alarm status and proportional 4-20 mA signals for external monitoring systems.
Is this module compatible with standard Velomitor sensors?
Yes, the 3300/55-01-04-12-12-00-00-05-00 configuration is specifically designed to interface with Velomitor piezo-velocity sensors.
What do the LED indicators on the front panel represent?
The LEDs provide visual confirmation of the module's health and alarm status, specifically indicating OK (system health), Bypass, Alert, and Danger conditions.
